Another one bites the dust

As you all know, I was laid off for up to a year November 2008-November 2009. I had been searching for a job tirelessly. I did have a temp position from January until July, thank God, but after that I had zero income coming in and that was more than a little scary. In November a good acquaintance of mine sent me an email saying her job was hiring and for me to forward my resume to her and she would submit it for me, so I did. Long story short, I now work for that company. She does not. On Friday, she was fired. It was the cra.zi.est. thing EVAH! She had gotten written up 3 times in 3 months after being here for 3 years. Excuse my ghetto fabulousness when I say – WHERE DEY DO DAT AT???? I mean, did she all of a sudden lose her mind (and all of her work ethic) between December and Februay? I would venture to say it was a mad push to get her out of here. They were finding little things to write her up about. She was walking around nervously wondering "is this the day?" until it finally was. Everyone here talks about what a great worker she was and this is the second time her boss has done this to someone. That is scary! It’s beyond scary in fact. This girl has a one year old daughter (single parent) and a house to pay for. She said she’s scared, but applied for unemployment. I pray that something comes through for her super duper fast!

Her boss and my boss (who is her boss’s boss) are super duper tight. During that monsterous snow storm we had? He was at her house taking her to target and getting her something to eat. Really? Really married man? Hmmm ok. Needless to say, they are tighter than tight and it causes many people to talk. It’s like they’ve joined forces but no one knows exactly what the plan is.

I know what my plan is.

I want to work in my field, and although I am super thankful for this opportunity, I hope to get a position at the Department of Mental Health, so that’s where my focus is because this, right here, is a mess!

Next week J and I will be headed to Vegas. I pray that we have a great time. Great flight, great weather, great food, great dancing, and great sex :~D I still have to buy shoes to go with my outfits, and I’m getting my toes done today, but other than that your girl is ready!
That’s all that’s new in my zoo. Off to read  you guys.

God Speed,
